You Don't Have To Be Perfect - You Can Be Far More Powerful than that!
🌟 Dr Brené Brown is a researcher who has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame & empathy. Some recent affirmations I love empowering myself with. Beats negative self-talk for sure:
1️⃣ "I choose to be proud of who I am rather than ashamed of how others see me."
2️⃣ "I am open, honest & compassionate with myself about my improvable areas giving myself the space required to grow."
3️⃣ "I can prep my mind for the future I desire until it's so familiar I see & seize opportunity I would not have before."
➕ Hang out with successful, can-do, positive people & you'll be next.
🔮 It's fascinating hanging out with can't do, negative people. Shame is one of the mind's subconscious tricks to keep us comfortable / in the status quo. It corrodes the part of us that believes we are capable of change. That is why it is so important to surround yourself with people that live the life you'd love.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
